Formula 1: 2007 British Grand Prix Result and Review

Suicidalsam
2007 British Grand Prix Formula One race was somewhat of a mixed race for Ferrari and but a great one for Kimi Raikonnen. Kimi Raikonnen started from the second position in the grid at the start of the British Grand Prix. Felipe Massa's hope of winning evaporated as his car stalled before the red lights went off and subsequently had to start in last position from the pit lane. Lewis Hamilton started from the pole position but he made a small mistake in the first round of pit stops in about lap 15 or 16 and lost the lead. Kimi Raikonnen did a couple of extra laps before heading into the pits himself. Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikonnen traded fastest laps after fastest lap before the first pit stops. Lewis Hamilton had hoped he could pull out some kind of gap between him and Kimi Raikonnen but Fernando Alonso made a quick pit stop hoping to come out ahead of Raikonnen and Alonso did that succesfully. Fernando Alonso took the lead after a successful short pit stop from Lewis Hamilton. Kimi Raikonnen had more fuel compared to Fernando Alonso and he took the advantage of that before he made the second pit stop. Fernando Alonso had to come into the pits long before Kimi Raikonnen and Kimi Raikonnen took perfect advantage of that situation and banged in fastest lap of lap before going into the pits himself. After Kimi Raikonnen made the second pit stop, he came out in front of Fernando Alonso and took the lead in the 2007 British Grand Prix.

Kimi Raikonnen's pace seemed too much for the Mclarens as he increased the gap between himself and Fernando Alonso after the second round of pit stops and Kimi Raikonnen won the British Grand Prix comfortably. This was Kimi Raikonnen's second consecutive Formula 1 Grand Prix. I hope this great form for Kimi Raikonnen continues in the future Grand Prix.

As for the second driver for Ferrari, Felipe Massa had to start from the pit lane but he managed to carve up other slower cars and overtake them one after another and finished in fifth place. It was a great result for Felipe Massa as he started from the last position. As for Lewis Hamilton, he finished third in the race. Considering this is his first home Grand Prix in a Formula 1 car, he would have wanted to win this race but it wasn't to happen because of the little mistake he made in the first pit stop.

Kimi Raikonnen won the 2007 British Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso came in second, and Lewis Hamilton was third. The BMW Sauber of Robert Kubica came in fourth place and Felipe Massa was fifth.
